Amazing!! The staff were so nice and gave great suggestions since this was our first time having Filipino food! I had the Mabuhay Mojito which was the best cocktail I’ve had in a long time! We ordered the Lumpia, Sisig, and Pancit Miki-Bihon which were all delicious, but the Sisig was especially delightful! Can’t wait to come again!

The two months it takes to get a reservation are well worth the wait! We we're a party of four eating inside. We arrived a little bit early so they set up the heater for us outside so we could wait and comfort until the previous guests finished. The wait time was not long, but the service staff gave us complimentary wine for the wait. We wanted to try a lot of things and so the waiter suggested that we order the menu. That means we literally ordered everything on the menu. What an adventure! From the noodle dishes to the vegetarian dishes to the meat dishes everything far exceeded our expectations! This is a great place to go with friends or on a special night with that someone. Everyone is very gracious and it was a great experience.

Where do I start to share about such a delectable evening? We made reservations weeks ago. The waiting was hard but oh, so worth it. It's not just the energetic vibe as you walk in, but that is so welcoming. Watching Chef Carlo call out orders and oversee each dish prepared for each table is amazing. And of course, there is the food, the heart of the evening. Oh man, the unique flavors of Filipino cuisine ... both traditional and many twists from the @twistedfilipino himself. Perhaps the most memorable ending was for Chef Carlo to join us at the table, reminisce of his life in the Philippines, in English for us, in Filipino for the Sampans. Carlo is a gracious host who offers each patron a fabulous meal to remember, and leaves us ready to book our next reservation. #magnakusina #chefcarlolamagna #jamesbeardnominee #foodandwinebestnewchef2021 #foodandwine #twistedfilipinocuisine

Small place with indoor and outdoor seating. Since we were a large party, we tasted the entire menu. Drinks were very tasty and most plates were fantastic. Some of the skewers were a little bland, but the sauce helped if you are not used to organ meats. The main entrees were mostly excellent too. Desserts were great, especially the flan inspired one!! Great little place to try!! The atmosphere and service were what made it excellent!!! Thanks Roberto!!!
